I have actually been registered disabled since my 16th birthday but worked until 13 years ago and then did something to my wrists. I still have the braces for my wrists but i try not to wear them. I dont like wearing them because they stop me from doing stuff. So even if it looks like they arent disabled they may be - they may be like me - no visible signs of disability but they are still classed as disabled. You dont know unless you are there when they take the mobility test to see if they pass it or not.

dont take this personal, but out of interest, have you been offered the chance of re-training, i mean you can type, which means you could be capable of a data inputter job for example, as i say i am not being personal, its just a generalised question really, as i see it they can class you as disabled if you are unfit to carry out your normal job, but as for a lot of these people on benefits, are they really incapable of carrying out ANY work, and also i ahve seen people in wheelchairs working, so if they can work, is it not a question of re assesing those unfit to work?
